Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...

As AI powered prosthetic arms become more advanced, a surprising detail could determine whether they truly feel like part of ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

Upper-limb amputees often struggle with everyday tasks due to their limited dexterity. The existing prosthetic hands often lack the fine motor skills and natural movement required for truly ...

The research team led by Dr. Minki Sin, Senior Researcher at KIMM, has developed an ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand that allows amputees to stably and efficiently grasp various objects with simple ...

Developing a durable and affordable hand is one of the biggest challenges in robotics.

When AI-powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In a study appearing in Scientific Reports, ...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - In this week’s Tech Tuesday, our partners at UF Innovate and SCAD Media highlight Dr. Eric Du and his lab at UF’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, who are working on ...

A robotic arm that moves too quickly can feel creepy. One that moves too slowly feels awkward and unhelpful. In a VR study, researchers found that AI-powered prosthetic arms were best accepted when ...

New research shows that autonomous robotic limbs must move at human-like speeds to be accepted by the brain as part of the body.

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to help bionic limbs act more like natural ones. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports on an experimental hand that shares control with the user to carry out tricky ...

Steven Reimer M.S. ’24 stepped back from the table after placing the final sensor on the patient’s arm. Two years of hard work had led to this moment. He had traveled 8,000 miles to Jaipur, India to ...
